A Guide to Breaking Up with Your Crazy Boyfriend

Yuan Jin has a genetic disorder. Though he is an alpha, he can only temporarily mark omegas and cannot form a deep mark. In other words, he is a useless alpha. To help treat his disorder, his older brother dropped out of school early to earn money for his education and medical expenses. As Yuan Jin grew older, he entered his first heat at fourteen. He discovered that ordinary suppressants did nothing for him, and only alpha pheromones could soothe him. Not wanting to make his brother’s life any harder, Yuan Jin told no one and found ways to get through each heat on his own. In his senior year of high school, he set his sights on the new transfer student, a young, handsome alpha. He’d heard the boy had transferred after getting into a fight. Yuan Jin was initially worried he might be a delinquent, but his heat was tormenting him so badly that he cautiously confessed anyway. After they started dating, Yuan Jin realized that although this young alpha looked like a delinquent, he was actually worse than one. He was undisciplined and violent, moody and neurotic. But his pheromones smelled so good, and were so soothing, that Yuan Jin put up with him. That is, until his older brother found out he was dating an alpha. At his brother’s insistence, Yuan Jin had no choice but to break up with him. A month later, Yuan Jin got into military academy. His only concern was his heats, so he had no choice but to find himself another alpha boyfriend. Only... this new boyfriend seemed to be good friends with his ex? - Being exiled to Eighth City was so boring that Ji Ruyan started dating a little alpha who had a crush on him. His boyfriend was quiet and reserved, never clingy or demanding updates, and always available when called. Though an alpha himself, he was gentle and sweet, without a trace of aggression. During heat, he even got all affectionate. Adorable. Ji Ruyan had never dated anyone before, much less an alpha. He’d only meant for it to be a fling, and planned to break up once he returned to Huancheng. He never expected the little alpha to be the one to call it off first. The outcome was the same, but Young Master Ji wasn’t satisfied with how things had gone. Back in Huancheng, Ji Ruyan went about his life as usual, yet kept thinking of the little alpha’s glossy, dark eyes whenever he was in heat. Now, every other omega or alpha seemed dull by comparison. His friends teased him, saying some enchanting omega had bewitched him. On the first day of military academy, he saw the student representative at the opening ceremony. It was the little alpha. As the son of the council speaker, dating an alpha would reflect badly on his family. He was considering whether to warn the boy not to cause trouble when the other beat him to it, pretending not to know him and greeting him coolly and politely: “Hello, classmate.” Oh, so he’d found another boyfriend. Suddenly, Ji Ruyan was in a bad mood. * Much later, desperate to get away from the snake-like alpha, Yuan Jin finally came clean to Ji Ruyan. “You treated me like a toy, and I used you as a tool. We’re even. Ji Ruyan, why are you still pestering me?” Ji Ruyan looked astonished. “Are you seriously trying to reason with a lunatic?” - Stoic, level-headed pragmatist seme X arrogant, unhinged scumbag uke P.S. 1. The seme needs an alpha to soothe him during heat, meaning an alpha has to bite his gland and inject pheromones, or he’ll get feverish and uncomfortable. This is my take on ABO, with lots of personal worldbuilding. Please bear with me. 2. When the uke isn’t around, the seme will find various alphas to help him through his heats. A harem of people falling for the seme, with plenty of love rivals and lots of romantic entanglements with characters who aren’t the endgame partner in the early chapters. 3. Reconciliation after a breakup. The uke is no good and has issues. There will be a groveling arc.
